A Heritage of Healing
Jason Staires, LPC, CAS
Staires Counseling, PLLC was conceived from a profound conviction that access to therapeutic services should not be a luxury available only to those with abundant resources. As a second-generation Licensed Professional Counselor, I witnessed and experienced the life-changing impact of therapy and the obstacles that often hinder people from accessing these essential services.
Throughout my career in behavioral health, I have observed how the intricacies of billing and insurance can dissuade individuals from seeking the help they need. This recurring frustration, coupled with my passion for making a tangible difference, inspired me to establish Staires Counseling, PLLC.
Our vision is clear: to dismantle these barriers and make therapy accessible to a broader segment of our community. We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where individuals can navigate their mental health challenges and effect positive changes in their lives.
Experience and Empathy: Your Path to Wellness
Rooted in Experience, Guided by Compassion
I am Jason Staires, LPC, CAS, the owner/operator of Staires Counseling, PLLC. I have two decades experience working in community behavioral health with individuals and couples experiencing trauma, drug/alcohol and other behavioral addictions, learn to not only manage issues associated with living with trauma and addiction, but flourish, thrive and actualize their true potential.
My journey began in inpatient/acute therapy, where I gained invaluable experience and insights into the complexities of mental health. Following my tenure in inpatient therapy, I transitioned to outpatient therapy. Over the course of 18 years in this setting, I have worked with a diverse range of people and conditions ranging from anxiety and depression to complex trauma and addiction.
Throughout my career, I have remained steadfast in my vision of making therapy accessible to all. At Staires Counseling, PLLC, the belief is that everyone deserves the opportunity to improve their mental and emotional well-being, and learn to flourish. I am committed to removing barriers to accessing treatment and providing the support and resources necessary to make this vision a reality.
